You should be able to answer this question in a few seconds. If you are unable to you may just be running around in circles going nowhere. I see too many people who jump right into a workout program without taking the time to set well thought out goals. It's like throwing a dart blindfolded. This reason alone is why you see people in the gym 6 months later and they look the same. The first step should always be to figure out what it is you want to achieve. For me, I want a body that stands out among the rest. A perfect balance between muscle size and definition. A body that looks great in a suit but even better naked. But more importantly I want a functional body that will allow me to dominate my competition in whatever form it comes. I want to watch action movies and know that I can do the things they do. However this alone is not going to be enough to motivate you to spend hours in the gym pushing your body to its limits and then some. You have to Love working out or learn to enjoy it. I was fortunate to be blessed with a passion for fitness and sports at a very young age. Here are some techniques I use to keep the gym fun.
1. find a workout buddy - competition is a great motivator
2. keep the workouts short in duration - it's easier to focus for 40-60 minutes than 2 hours
3. change up your workouts every few weeks - by challenging yourself with new exercises it's easier to stay on track
4. do what you hate first - if you hate working your legs make them the first thing you do in your workout
5. Keep track of how much weight your lifting - by watching your strength/fitness go up you will be more motivated to stick with the program.
